READINGS THIS WEEK COLLECT Almighty God, your Son has opened for us a new and living way into your presence. Give us pure hearts and constant wills to worship you in spirit and in truth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. PRAYER OVER THE GIFTS O God, accept our praise and thanksgiving. Help us in all we do to offer ourselves as a true and living sacrifice; through Jesus Christ the Lord. PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION O God, as we are strengthened in these holy mysteries, may our lives be a continual offering, holy and acceptable in your sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. A READING FROM THE BOOK OF AMOS This is what the Lord God showed me - a basket of summer fruit. He said, "Amos, what do you see?" And I said, "A basket of summer fruit." Then the Lord said to me, "The end has come upon my people Israel; I will never again pass them by. The songs of the temple shall become wailings in that day," says the Lord God; "the dead bodies shall be many, cast out in every place. Be silent!" Hear this, you that trample on the needy, and bring to ruin the poor of the land, saying, "When will the new moon be over so that we may sell grain; and the sabbath, so that we may offer wheat for sale? We will make the JULY 21, 2013 6

ephah small and the shekel great, and practise deceit with false balances, buying the poor for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals, and selling the sweepings of the wheat." The Lord has sworn by the pride of Jacob: Surely I will never forget any of their deeds. Shall not the land tremble on this account, and everyone mourn who lives in it, and all of it rise like the Nile, and be tossed about and sink again, like the Nile of Egypt? On that day, says the Lord God, I will make the sun go down at noon, and darken the earth in broad daylight. I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; I will bring sackcloth on all loins, and baldness on every head; I will make it like the mourning for an only son, and the end of it like a bitter day. The time is surely coming, says the Lord God, when I will send a famine on the land; not a famine of bread, or a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord. They shall wander from sea to sea, and from north to east; they shall run to and fro, seeking the word of the Lord, but they shall not find it. AMOS 8:1-12 A READING FROM THE LETTER OF PAUL TO THE COLOSSIANS He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; for in him all things in heaven and on earth were created, things visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or powers all things have been created through him and for him. He himself is before all things, and in him all things hold together. He is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he might come to have first place in everything. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him God was pleased to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, by making peace through the blood of his cross. And you who were once estranged and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, he has now reconciled in his fleshly body through death, so as to present you holy and blameless and irreproachable before him provided that you continue securely established and steadfast in the faith, without shifting from the hope promised by the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven. I, Paul, became a servant of this gospel. I am now rejoicing in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am completing what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church. I became its servant according to God's commission JULY 21, 2013 7

that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known, the mystery that has been hidden throughout the ages and generations but has now been revealed to his saints. To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. It is he whom we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone in all wisdom, so that we may present everyone mature in Christ. COLOSSIANS 1:15-28 THE HOLY GOSPEL OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST ACCORDING TO LUKE Now as they went on their way, he entered a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to what he was saying. But Martha was distracted by her many tasks; so she came to him and asked, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her then to help me." But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; there is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her."

PSALM 52 Lutheran Chant No. 2 You tyrant, why do you / boast of wickedness* against the godly / all day long? You plot ruin; your tongue is like a / sharpened razor,* O worker / of deception. You love evil / more than good* and lying more than speak-/ing the truth. You love all / words that hurt,* O you de-/ceitful tongue. Oh, that God would demo-/lish you utterly,* topple you, and snatch you from your dwelling, and root you out of the land / of the living! The righteous shall / see and tremble,* and they shall laugh / at him, saying, This is the one who did not take God / for a refuge,* but trusted in great wealth and relied / upon wickedness. But I am like a green olive tree in the / house of God,* I trust in the mercy of God for e-/ver and ever. I will give you thanks for what / you have done* and declare the goodness of your name in the presence / of the godly. JULY 21, 2013 9

From the Primate s World Relief and Development Fund How many is 50? How far is home? In 2009, as part of PWRDF s 50 th anniversary celebrations the Refugee Network made up of refugee coordinators and committees in the 15 dioceses that hold Private Sponsorship Agreements with Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) proposed that PWRDF take up the challenge of sponsoring 50 refugee families for settlement in Canada. A project was developed, staff hired and an agreement was negotiated with CIC that included matching seed money for those interested in sponsoring one of the 50 families. And so they came and were welcomed a Karen family from Burma/ Myanmar sponsored by three parishes in Bells Corners (Diocese of Ottawa), a Colombian family sponsored by St. John the Evangelist in the Diocese of Edmonton, an Ethiopian family sponsored by a parish in St. Thomas (Diocese of Huron), and the list goes on. In all, 50 families totalling 158 individuals found refuge and a new home through this PWRDF initiative. By early 2012, all but one family had arrived. But war had broken out in Syria a year before; a war that rages on, continuing to claim the lives of tens of thousands of Syrians and of refugees who had come there from Iraq, Iran and other countries in the region in the years prior to the outbreak of Syria s war. Canada s embassy, including its consular services, was shut down and refugees with sponsors waiting for them in Canada were stuck. Among those who waited were Hamdan Nagie, his wife Wagiha and their son, Ahmed. Displaced by the war in Iraq years before, first to a refugee camp and then to Damascus, they waited while Hamdan and Wagiha s daughter in Halifax and Sharon MacLeod, Refugee Sponsorship Coordinator for the Diocese of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island worked feverishly to get them out. Assistance came from the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) and then the UNHCR left the country as the family waited. Food, water and heat in their apartment in Damascus ran BULLETIN NOTICES 14

low and they waited. Bombs fell around them and they waited. Other refugees managed to leave, but still they waited terrified that they would never do so. And then, thanks to the efforts of CIC staff in Canada, the Canadian visa office in Jordan and the International Organization for Migration (IOM), word came that it was possible to leave. On May 7 the family boarded a bus in Damascus but were immediately taken off because apparently they did not have all the required documents. Their departure was rescheduled for May 14 and this time they made it to the Syrian-Lebanese border only to be removed from the bus. Hamdan was taken away for questioning. Time passed. The bus left for Beirut. The border closed for the night. Phone calls and e-mails between the border, Jordan and Canada ensued. And then Hamdan was released and the family continued their journey onto the Beirut airport, then Turkey and finally Canada and into the arms of their waiting daughter, her family, Sharon and the sponsorship group in Halifax. The long journey to home was over. Those last days were extremely frightening and uncertain for the family and all those trying to bring them to Canada, Sharon noted. She praised the commitment of staff at the visa office in Jordan who worked well beyond regular office hours to secure the family s departure from Syria. She also praised those parishes and dioceses across the country that pooled resources in order to assist the sponsorship group in Halifax with financing necessary to bring the family to Canada. When asked to put the arrival of PWRDF s 50 th family into perspective, Sharon said simply, More work needs to be done. More families still need to come. On the eve of World Refugee Day (June 20), the UNHCR released its annual Global Trends report in which it stated that 45.2 million people worldwide are displaced; 28.8 million as internally displaced persons and 16.4 million as refugees. And so PWRDF and Canadian Anglicans can be proud to say we have welcomed 158 strangers into our communities and our lives. And then we need to ask ourselves, how many is 50 and how far is home? What more are we called to do? BULLETIN NOTICES 15
